We talked about WBs a while back and with everything things change. At that time innovate was probably the best choice and even that didn't have the range you say this one has.

Of Course. The information that I posted was intended for the mass of readers that like myself had little to no idea what that thing did until I started reading up on it.
Can you imagine what the board discussions would be like if everybody had your knowledge. We'd be talking about driving remote control Land Cruisers on Mars from our backyard launches. Who needs NASA?

Yes we figured it out, thanks for the prompt return call. If your talking about the plug, it is just that. A 1" plug from NAPA to block it off. I have the benefit of being registered in the portion of our county that currently does not require smog checks.
That made me laugh, because when we put it there I commented on how bad it looked. Robbie grinned and said when I felt compelled to remove it and weld the hole up to go ahead and then I wouldn't have to know it was there anymore.

sounds sweet would love to see some dyno numbers. 4 wheel dyno's a hard to find. thinking about SC ing as well. you HAVE to run premium correct. I know if you put that much money in it why would you run anything less but ouch premium is as much are near the price of diesel. :-<

Yes, premium is a must with this supercharger. Locally, premium is still about 40-50 cents a gallon less than diesel. At this point, I think all fuel is expensive.

Thanks again. The motor is just getting stronger with more miles, or I'm getting bolder with it.
Looks like it turned out fantastic! Well done.
Any chance you could still ask Robbie for further feedback on this?

I'm sure he'll chime in when he gets a second, but I believe his overall impression was very favorable. I don't think he would have given me a warrantee like he did without believing in the parts that were used. You can always send him a pm to hear his personal thoughts on it.

As an update, I changed out the 8:1 FMU for a 12:1 FMU. It ads a little more fuel to the thirsty motor. Same brand FMU just a higher ratio. We also think the JE Pistons came out a little higher compression. More like 10:1.
The motor runs very strong. I have put a little over a thousand miles on it so far. Dragged the Adventure Trailer over a couple of high mtn. passes 8000 +/- and Im very impressed with it.

I still drool looking at those pics in the beginning of the post. Great write up.
Did you ever get any dyno #'s?

which it's your AFR at full boost . ? there any temp issue yet .?
So what prompted the realization that you were running lean and needed more fuel?
ditto/ why the change in fmu?

Sorry for the delay guys. I've been pretty busy with archery season approaching.
So, far she's right around 14 at wot, but see the below post for more info. As far as temps, they have been great. I did replace the radiator with a brand new OEM Toyota during the rebuild.

Again, sorry for the delay in the responses. The answer is a simple one. Under Wide Open Throttle (W.O.T.) She still detonated slightly.
It's slight, but it's there. An example of how slight it is, I took my father for a ride (He is a former boat and car racer) to demonstrate it. When finished, his quote was "If that's how you have to drive it to get it to detonate, I would say you don't have a detonation problem".
So, a quick call to Robbie and it was decided to up the FMU. I'm adding a water/meth injection system next week and will keep you updated.
Still learning....
I'd look into an intercooler to help with that verses water meth injection unless of course a WB showed it was still a fueling issue.

As usual, your right on. The shop that is providing the water/met injector is going to look at an air to water intercooler also. I was going to keep that a surprise but oh well. The shop is Infinite Velocity Motorsports in Sparks. They build a lot of motors for D. Trent of Trent Fabrication fame.
Didn't mean to spoil the surprise. It's just that since TRD didn't provide an intercooler people automatically think it's not needed. Probably the biggest omission with that kit, but it does help keep the cost down.
